There is a new story about how the Iranian government is pissed they can't control the Barbie dolls flooding into Iran. As I explain below, the Iranians are right to be concerned. Once you introduce American culture to a population, it is infectious. They can't get it out of their system. It is our best weapon:

2. Send Iran talking Cenk dolls.
Then only stop sending the Cenk dolls to Iran when they stop their nuclear enrichment program.
One way to win for sure, Iran will be begging at our door to stop sending the Cenk dolls. Doll would have to do what Cenk does, roll back and forth in his seat while giggling and telling a story.

3. There is a proverb in Farsi,says:The mad man assumes all people are mad like him.
The authore assumes Iranians are like Turks which lost their history(if any),missed their roots,culture etc and beg Europians to join them for more than 10 years.why? just because a small piece of their country is in Eu? it's ridiculous.They have lost their dignity for what? to wear jeans, drink alcohol,have Mc Donald,remove their scarf ,have night clubs or show their prostitutes on their public TV to their children to learn how to live in future...? They changed their alphabet to latin, is this a wise deal?
we Iranians practiced these things for a while during Pahlavi`s dynasty but soon realized the truth.
Now we have many problems with our government but all people know that they should solve their problem without yealding to any foreign country or culture.
We have a magnificiant and superb treasure of culture, art, litreture, civilization,rich land and very clever and genious people who are able to (and are doing)
continue their way in this new world without yealding their rich culture or dealing it with such a low price that your country did.
We do believe in communication and listening to the other cultures.
I do not intend to insult to any person country or culture but it is very ridiculous and offensive to think that you can arrest such a rich idiology culture and people with toys like barbie, cockacola, satellite programs...which are false symboles of new world.
Fortunatelly Your people are realizing this truth.

Rev Wright dolls, now that is a money making idea.
Just a short time ago when Fox News exposed the ant america, anti Jew, anti white sermons of Rev Wright, Fox News was blasted by the Liberal Fascists for going after Obama by attacking Obama's Reverend. The Liberal Fascists said Fox was again the pawn of the Republican Party and was taking everthing Rev Wright said out of context. The rest of the country sat up and took notice of the Reverend and watched some of his rants on YouTube. Obama gave a speech denouncing what Rev Wright said and was cheered on by the Liberal crowd, some saying it was one of the greatest speeches ever given. But Rev Wright did not go away, did not zipper his mouth. He continued his anti white and anti Jew remarks, and his latest outrage caught the eye of the entire USA and the press. Rev Wright was becoming an huge anchor on Obama's leg and pulling Obama under a sea of criticism. Last nights speech was a complete renouncement that the anti white, anti Jew etc. filth Rev Wright has been spreading had gone to far.
It was interesting to see the Liberal Fascist slimeballs comeout from under their rocks and attack respected Black Reverends who did not agree with Rev Wright in order to shift some of the negative pressure off Obama.
Obama waited to long to set the record straight, and in doing so has made sure that Rev Wrights image will still be around come November, reminding all the voters of Obaman not seeing what Rev Wright had been saying for over 20 years and just now became objectionable only because of the negative affect on the polls.
Fox News was correct about Wright, and all you idiots were wrong. That is why Fox is #1 and Liberal News media like Air America has a rating of 28.
20 years of History of Obama and Rev Wright just went in the History Books.
